The Way Too Early Mock Class Thread: 2013 Edition

[villegator95]

We already have Anthony McMillan, James Hearns, Caleb Brantley, and Adam Lane. I would do one, but the only recruits I know we are in for are the four mentioned above, plus the ones attending Junior Day next week. Anybody feel free to take a shot!

[Dreamliner]

I don't expect us to sign any O-Linemen or WR's. I do expect us to continue to load up on the defensive side of the ball. We'll defer on kickoffs and defensive personnel will pooch punt the ball back to the other team when we get possession.

[StrangeGator]

Thanks GATORAZ. Was about to paste that in myself. Thoughtful effort by SU.

[villegator95]

Awesome guys. Thanks, I had no idea SU had already posted one. What do you guys think about Joey Bosa? Out of state?

[gatordude15]

I think the majority consensus is that Bosa will be headed to Bama. It's a shame, he's a good prospect, but we should still get a good D-Line class to go along with our stud 12' class.

[oxymoron]

Our offense will be three clouds and a yard of dust as former FSU Coach Bill Peterson used to say.

[GATORAZ]

Awesome guys. Thanks, I had no idea SU had already posted one. What do you guys think about Joey Bosa? Out of state?

Probably BAMA I agree with Su that our strong side DE will be Elijah Daniel

[ufgator4ever]

Well it would be nice to get at least a few top O prospects. Our new head coach in 2014 would appreciate it.

Just to give you some idea of how fluid things are, here's SU's 2012 Mock Class from roughly the same time last year:

QB Gray Crow
QB Tyler Cameron
RB Dami Ayoola
RB Danny Dillard
WR Latroy Pittman
WR Jamie Wilson
TE Sean Price
OL Omari Phillips
OL Brock Stadnik
OL Patrick Miller
OL Evan Goodman
DE Jordan Jenkins
DE Jelani Hamilton
DT Jonathan Bullard
DT Earl Moore

DE/OLB Tyriq McCord
LB Deaysean Rippy
LB Eric Striker
LB Dillon Lee
CB Donaldven Manning
CB Brian Poole
S Nelson Agholor
S Rhaheim Ledbetter

K Kevin McLaughlin

To be clear, I'm not reviving this to embarrass SUG. Far from it. I'm incredibly appreciative for all he does here. Instead, I think it's a really fun reminder of how much things change over the course of a year, even for the most informed among us.

[SUGator51]

Daniel's recruited at the BUCK, but yeah, if he's 250 lbs., he might outgrow it. All I know is that he has named us his leader and is really tight with Coach Young. Once we get him on campus, I think we'll get some good news.

I would have liked to have included more NC kids, but it's early and I'm not sure who has legit interest in UF besides Dane Rogers. And with us looking good for Daniels and Sickels, he was tough to fit in.

haha, yup. We did way better than my prediction.

I think it's a little easier this year since Muschamp targets/takes kids earlier, but I still would be shocked if I hit on 10 kids.

It's just way too hard to project OOS kids this early especially.

Yet you picked two or three OOS kids we are very likely to get. Really excited about Elijah Daniel. That will be a great pickup for Coach Young.

It's impossible to pick every out of state signee, but it's a good bet that we will get more than eight. I would expect them show up on the board at positions like WR and LB where we're currently looking at mostly Florida kids. It probably takes longer to evaluate the prospects from other states. Gotta think Durkin is going to keep it going in NC. Any chance with Kalambayi or Bryant?

I know this sounds crazy, but I like Stacy Coley more than that 2012 WR from Maryland. What was his name?

This isn't a bad shot at all.

Quinton Powell and Demarcus walker are very realistic.

North looks like he's going to UGA and Clemson. We were in Kalambayi's top 2 awhile bakc, but Clemson might be tough to beat. I would estimate we're in Cardiello's Top 2, but his mom went to FSU and he grew up in Tally so FSU fans think he's theirs to lose.

[mikehev]

SUG,

Which coach from our staff recruits Jacksonville? I heard something today from an area high school coach that really bothered me.

In Christ forever,
Mike
John 3:16

[SUGator51]

Dan Quinn.

[mikehev]

Dan Quinn.

Sorry to ask it in so many threads. I don't know if it was just the process with one kid, sounded like more than that. But an area high school coach who is fairly well respected mentioned to me today that Meyer's staff seemed to work harder than the new staff, at least with his school. His impression was that Florida started out strong, but then backed off. I guess he never ran into that with Meyer's staff. It is not a fly by night high school program either. A top 5 coach was on his campus not long ago.

Maybe they just aren't recruiting that school as hard. Are you fairly confident in Quinn's recruiting abilities? It seems like there is alot of Jacksonville talent coming out in 2013. I hope we are in good shape in that area.

In Christ forever,
Mike
John 3:16

[SUGator51]

Under Meyer, the Gators allowed FSU to dominate the area, especially First Coast. Maybe they did work harder, but the results weren't very good. On the flip side, UF just landed the best LB in the state from First Coast, and can land Nick Washington when they say go.

Sounds a little sketchy to me, but thanks for sharing.

[mikehev]

That sounds good.

I think we have to corner JAX if we are going to be successful in 2013. JMO.

Only thing I would quibble with is the numbers...we would have to have a lot of turnover to hit 26.

[gatordude15]

I thought about our lack of scholarships going into the next cycle. But i also thought about how badly attrition has hit this program lately and the few talented jrs who might leave after having a good season this year.
Also, we just have so many needs that i felt i had to portray in this mock class.
I hope for our sake that we can't sign 26. Go Gators!

[LimeyGator]

My mock class is made up of a good crop of quality talent which gets roundly criticised for being subject to a terrible close on NSD,when some young attention-grabber chooses NC State over the Gators on ESPNU...

[Mayhem41]

Forgive me for interjecting, but....

High school coach/college coach relationships are funny things. Being a "fly on the wall" from both sides I've seen it. Su is correct, and probably you and your source, also. Know quite a few coaches (on both ends) that just believe showing up and paying ahlms to a high school coach works wonders. You know, the college coach shows up, says "hey coach, really like what you're doing here", maybe even throw in a few questions about what he's running... and they just eat that crud up. Think they are the cock of the walk and talk good about that coach from then on. Doesn't necessarily translate into recruiting cause A) might not have anyone you're interested in and B) coach might not have that much sway with a givin recruit if he did. Give Quinn time, maybe he's just not a fraud.

[gatordude15]

I've thought about it and looked back on my mock class. I would take RB Webb off the list; i think UF will be content with two backs in this class given the lack of scholarship numbers available. Especially if they are stud backs like Lane and Taylor.
Also i should not have added LB Deebs. I think getting McMillian, Hearns, Kelsey Jr., and Daniel at Buck will be enough numbers to make up for only signing two last cycle. That cuts my mock class down to 24, which i really think is the ideal realistic number for this class.

Go Gators

Five down, 19 to go. I think SU is already ahead of his early predictions for the 2012 class. This class will fall into place a lot faster, so these predictions will hold together better.

I'd be happy to keep updating this thing all day long. Got my fingers crossed for an OL and a DB.

Meh, four were already committed and I wasn't exactly going out on a limb predicting Taylor and Adams. Pretty sure a bunch of other posters here are 6/6, but I appreciate the love.

Outside of Adams, my WR's may be off. Gimme kudos if I land more than 1-2 OL/DL.

SU, that's a great list. Nice work. I hope we get all 5 of those OLs!

I thought we could only sign about 22 in this class?

[amer21]

I thought we could only sign about 22 in this class?

Yea, that's what I thought but then I flip through the forums today and I'm seeing 25-28. What is it? Do we even know yet?

[thedyc09]

Yea, that's what I thought but then I flip through the forums today and I'm seeing 25-28. What is it? Do we even know yet?

Anything larger than 23-24 is being very, very optimistic. Or pessimistic, I suppose. In any case, there's going to a real numbers crunch at 23 as it is. Anyone saying 28 is off their rocker.

Not even the coaches know what the number is going to be until after the season when players decide if they are going to the draft or not. Plus there could always be transfers

[GATORAZ]

Dont worry about the numbers the coaches always figure it out but if we get the kids we want probably 23-25

[thedyc09]

The roster numbers are always in flux, but I believe we are at 64 headed into the summer. We'll be getting (I think) 16 in before the fall, for a total of 80. We lose 12 seniors/red shirt seniors putting us at 68 at the end of the season, leaving room for a class of 17.

So the starting number for the 2013 class is 17. Like I said, we're at a numbers crunch already at 23. Losing six more players to attrition after having lost so many last season is a bit of a stretch. Losing four or five more on top of that is basically impossible.

[g8r925]

Won't know what the real number will be until you look at the number that enrolled early from last class, then take that away from the total from this yr, then you will have the extra room to count back to the previous yr. Plus you don't know if we will have any transfers or if we will have any leave early, injurys........ So time will tell. I wouldn't think we would take anymore than 25.

And the deal with Alexander, I talked to some of the coaches and he is holding off on a decision, to see what indeed will happen with his brother. I have watched this kid play since pop warner and he is a stud at corner. Hope we can get him, would hate to see another end up in miami.

We're going to be back counting, but the 25 number isn't the problem. With such a small graduating class next year we're going to be right at the 85 cap.

[The_Graygator]

Anything larger than 23-24 is being very, very optimistic. Or pessimistic, I suppose. In any case, there's going to a real numbers crunch at 23 as it is. Anyone saying 28 is off their rocker.

Yeah, that's what i thought, that it was right around that 22 number. Thing is, with the class of 15 we have in the fold now, you probably expect to lose at least one out of that class as a "near-certainty" (because 75% of the time there's always someone who changes their minds late).

But we have plenty of room left to continue to address our needs and fill the spots we need to.

This should be a very, very solid, depth-filling class for us.

Like someone said 85 is the number you worry about but the coaches will make it work.

yeah the big problem is Mackenro Alexander is going to get some real nice offers eventually so MacKensie Alexander will probably go to one of those schools.

[stomp_and_chomp]

Coley is apparently fading, and Bailey is getting a look....

Kublanow committed to UGA...

Man, the more and more I dwell on it... My gut is telling me Coley is Clemson bound. No inside infoz here, just a gut instinct. And it would be a logical choice for him. If he wants to get into the NFL early, then Clemson is a team that has proven they can take a freshman and turn him into a star.

[sbcg8r]

Stomp, I understand that perception, but Clemson had absolutely nothing to do with Watkins being a "star". That dude is a "star" period- no matter where he plays.

[StrangeGator]

If Coley doesn't end up at UF, it's because of academics. If academics keep him out of UF, he's not a sure thing at Clemson. There's not a big difference between the two programs as far as admission standards, though Clemson has a good reputation for supporting kids with shaky academics.

[elrongator]

Here's hoping we can land several quality Wide Reciever/offensive playmakers and Big Uglies for the O-line.
IMO those are the areas of most obvious and pressing need. Really everything else seems to be take studs or leave it.
O-line wins games a heck of alot more than any other positions.

[The_Graygator]

I can't complain though, Coach Muschamp has been quietly building up the team's depth and this class seems to be doing a great job at OL and WR so far. He's addressing our needs and steadily getting them filled in.

He's gettin' it done IMO.

[elrongator]

I agree he's gotten results that are positive Gray, but we still need to concentrate on these areas of need IMO. Tunsil, for example is not just a loss for us if he goes somewhere else, but obviously becomes a big gain for wherever he lands.
Same for top WRs.
It really did suck to lose both Agholar and Diggs this last cycle. There's no denying that.

Walker is liking Bama pretty good right now...hasn't been back to UF in a while.
Both Ivie and Sherit have cooled, and one or the other wants a Bama offer.
VH3 will play for his pops at USF and i think our coaches have known this for a while.
McQuay is probably on hold.
Don't count on Tunsil
Buchanon isnt leaving Mississippi with his ties to Ole Miss.

I feel good about Walker, Fulwood and a couple guys have been working him over hopefully Muschamp can clean up Jacksonville. Ivie an Sherit are toss ups we'll get one

lol. (just happened to be around this forum when i read he popped to OM)

might as well give me VH3 to USF and McQuay being on hold now cause that's pretty much the deal...while Ivie, Sherit, Walker and Tunsil are slightly possible

3 for 7?

on second thought, if only one of them has ended it....i'd say thats 1 for 1, lol.

Lol, at least your being optimistic with your predictions. Lets say you're 1 for 1 and I'm 0 for 1. I'll have a higher average by signing day haha

[slmdLS1]

I think it was Ivie that had/has a little Bama interest, not Sherit.
McQuay named a top 3 yesterday of Vandy, USC, and Michigan.
VH3 playing ...for his dad... at home... for USF is highly likely, and we've offered a few more, so i just think our 2nd CB comes from elsewhere.
with Tunsil, I just feel like with FSU coaches there...ehhhh, it'll be pushed on him "anywhere but UF".

don't get me wrong, at first glance that's a list I'd love to be wrong about...but from everything I've been reading, it doesn't appear likely.

So I can't put Harris in McQuay's spot??? Is that cheating? Haha

[slmdLS1]

yes that's cheating, lol. IMO, I think Harris has always been at the top of the Safety board, and for that reason is probably the reason McQuay isn't already a Gator.

[StrangeGator]

Add Harris and we're probably done at DB. Maybe one more corner. Pencil in Sherit at DE. He can play SS or Buck. If we get a pure Buck, I like Ebenezer Ogundeko. He's about the perfect size and we got on him before he was on anyone's radar, even Rivals. They now have him with four stars and he's the #12 WSDE. I still think Walker will be a Gator, but not sure he'll be a DE. If he's 275 his junior year in high school, how big will he be as a sophomore or junior in college? Jaye Howard added 70 pounds in three years.
I think we lose an LB and add one or two more. I'll take a stab in the dark and say Larenz Bryant. Anzalone is a possibility. At DT, we keep Brantley and get either Hill, Pagano or Latham.

On offense, add Tunsil, Demarcus Walker, Taj Williams and Ryan Green. Looks like we whiffed at QB unless the kid from Connecticut gets a legit offer.

[slmdLS1]

no on Taj Williams and Ryan Green.

I heard Ogundeko was high on ND after his visit are we even a thought with him anymore?

And I know we're depleted at WR and RB but can we really take 5 WR and 3 RB? And do you mean Demarcus Robinson on offense, I think we may be set after him unless we have a spot open up late like last year

I would love this class. But I think the coaches should move away from Lawson if we're trying to recruit guys who do it the "Florida Way." Put the full court press on Anzalone. Also, I don't think there's any chance we pull Dawson away from the home town school, when they're looking to have a big year and probably end up with the concensus #1 recruiting class. Got my fingers crossed on the other guys.

[deep_threat]

I would like that list too but I would put Robinson instead of Bailey. Harris in the secondary

[deep_threat]

Could we get Antonio Riles in this class???

[slmdLS1]

Could we get Antonio Riles in this class???

probably a UGA/UF battle, and i'd guess UGA with a slight lead being the home state school.

Dawson is a versatile OL and friends with Cam Dillard i think, so there is a little recruiting going on behind closed doors i think. Theres also a sleeper OL in Georgia thats huge that might visit this summer i think...

I'd guess(i think this makes a class of 25)

WR...Robinson...Coley next in line, then Bailey(dont think he's been offered yet though)
QB...Woulard
OL...Sleeper/Tunsil + Dawson
DT...Walker + one of Gilmore or Daniel
Buck...Riles or Sherit
Saf...Harris, McQuay or bust
CB...VH3 will have his spot as a +1 no matter, but if i had to guess, i'd go with Cameron Sutton.

I think so, sounds familiar.

[GATORAZ]

Yeah so I have been to lazy to do a recruiting write up. I also wanted to see what happen this weekend. I would not be shocked if we had a DL perform well at camp get an offer and commit. Or just one of the DL who already has an offer commit soon. The thing is we are only taking 7 to 8 more guys so getting an offer now is hard. We could also see a ath/DB offer come.

so essentially we are likely on hold til signing day/all star games for one(possibly 2) OL, CB, and WR

--It is my belief that if the coaches don't like what they see out of Woullard this weekend and the upcoming season, that they will not offer him, and not go after a QB this season. Numbers are already tight, it wouldn't be too bad of a thing to have an extra spot in this class for another highly touted player.

Great list, but Dillan Lawson seems very shaky. Let's keep an eye our for more OLBs. There seem to be a lot of them around.

[gatordude15]

Yeah, there would have to be a lot of attrition, i understand that. I obviously do not think that there will be the kind of transfers like there were last season; but it is definitely possible that there will be a few Gators jumping to the NFL early this season. I really don't think that 25 is a totally outrageous or unrealistic number for this season.

And i would like to see us stay steady with signing 22-25 every cycle.

[deep_threat]

Great list, but Dillan Lawson seems very shaky. Let's keep an eye our for more OLBs. There seem to be a lot of them around.

I was thinking the same thing.

[Pieisyummy]

It feels like you guys are pretty close to right, though I feel lukewarm about both Ogundeko and Walker as far as their committing to Florida goes. With that possible gap, I was curious if you guys knew anything about Will Likely. He seems a bit short and an LSU lean, but one loves any secondary help.

[slmdLS1]

Ogundeko visited, had a great time, named us his leader, and has now set a date to announce his commitment....

I think Likely doesn't have the size they want...

[deep_threat]

1. RB Kelvin Taylor
2. DT Caleb Brantley
3. LB Daniel McMillian
4. WR Ahmad Fulwood
5. DB Keanu Neal
6. LB Quinton Powell
7. DB Nick Washington
8. RB Adam Lane
9. WR Marqui Hawkins
10. LB James Hearns
11. LB Dillan Lawson
12. OL Roderick Johnson
13. WR Rodney Adams
14. OL Cameron Dillard
15. OL Josh Outlaw
16. DB Tre' Bell

+

17. WR Demarcus Robinson
18. DL Jordan Sherit
19. DL Ebenezer Ogundeko
20. DB Marcell Harris
21. QB Max Staver
22. DL Joey Ivie
23. OL Laremy Tunsil
24. OL Tyrone Crowder

Numbers are crunching. I feel like we could pull VH3. Need some help here folks. And again, feel free to rip this one to shreds too.

Joey ivie commits!!! 1 down 7 to go

[GATORAZ]

Joey ivie commits!!! 1 down 7 to go

told you we sat very well for Ivey:nervous smile:

[gatordude15]

It seems like a lot of us had Ivie on our mocks, which is awesome. Some people on another thread said they seem like we are in good shape with Walker, Sherrit, and Ogundeko as well. Considering that this will not be a large class in numbers, and we seemed to do pretty well at DL in our last cycle, who will be left out in this year's class?
Will it be Ogundeko, because he is set to commit first?
Sherrit because he is more of a Buck position?
Walker because of his versatility?
OR do we take them all in the thought that we might miss out on another position (DB-OL)?

As much as i like all of these prospects, there just seem to be too many needs right now at other positions for us to be filling up the class with more DL. (just my opionion)

Go Gators

[slmdLS1]

I think Walker is fading...was supposed to be at UF this weekend...apparently a no show again. Per his twitter he is gonna announce August 3rd, and i don't think he's been to UF recently...

Still have Ogundeko and Sherit

[GATORAZ]

Still have Ogundeko and Sherit

Our board has more than those two on it. But as of today they look like the best shots and soon IMO

[joebrown352]

More of a wishlist:

19. DB Priest Willis
20. CB Vernon Hargreaves III
21. OL Laremy Tunsil
22. DL Jordan Sherit
23. WR Stacey Coley
24. LB Alex Anzalone

However more likely:

19. DB Marcel Harris
20. DL Jordan Sherit
21. OL David Dawson
22. RB Josh Mercer
23. DB Vernon Hargreaves III
24. Someone we haven't heard about yet.

Really want Priest Willis. Wish Stacey Coley would get his head on straight but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

[gatorfan12]

From what I've heard

Most likely:
DB Marcell Harris
DL Jordan Sherit
LB Alex Anzalone
DL Ebenezer Ogundeko
OL ?

Best Possible:

OL Laremy Tunsil
DB Vernon Hargreaves III
DB Marcel Harris
DL Demarcus Walker
DL Jordan Sherit
WR Stacy Coley/Demarcus Robinson
LB Alex Anzalone

I agree with your probable list and think we land all of those guys. With Sherit I see VHIII tagging along as they have been very close throughout the process. I believe our fourth WR will be Chris Thompson and he may be the next guy on board. OL is tough and I know we are not out of it for Tunsil but I would say its either he or Crowder at this point. We are also going to take another DT whether its Pagano, Gilmore, Adams, or someone but that will be another position we fill.

[GATORAZ]

from all accounts Chris had a great showing at camp (I put him on people to add to the board if you remember deep threat) that being said I would think the coaches will hold off for now. He is a local kid and they should be able to get his commitment anytime

[killercroc_UF]

John Theus?

True that. Humphries finished the number 2 overall player in the country though. All that aside he's been quoted saying he doesn't fear competition from either player.

[gatordude15]

I heard he's extremely interested in UGA because they will use him in more pulling and moving type blocking and he's not exactly sure if UF will. As far as i am concerned, even though he may very well be the best OL this year, i would rather have a good OL who fits what Pease and Muschamp are doing than a stud who doesn't. With that said, i still really want him.

[deep_threat]

"@ZachAbolverdi: With loss of Dante Phillips, #UF has 17 spots open for 2013 & should sign 23 now after projected transfers/juniors leaving (22 previously)."

Well, there's our answer to the numbers. With 5 spots left I would say...

19. / 20. 2 of Ogundeko, Sherit, and Walker
21. 1 wide out hopefully D Rob since he's coming to FNL
22. Marcel Harris
23. VH3
24. Hopefully Tunsil, maybe a plan B guy
25. Another line man (Crowder, Dawson)

That still puts us over our new 23 limit but the chances of defections from our current class is also likely.

[gatorfan12]

deep, If we dont get D Rob I'm not so sure we will take another wideout.Of course other names can emerge, but the only other guy I've heard that we could get is Chris Thompson. Looks like Alvin Bailey will never get an offer. Not saying we wont get D Rob, but I think he goes to Clemson and we dont take another.

Maybe Chris Thompson will be the Raphael Andrades of this year.

Also, I think the plan B guy to tunsil would probably be Joe Fennel.

Thanks 12. I would almost rather not take another just to have an extra scholly.

[slmdLS1]

Thompson is likely given an offer if D Rob doesnt want UF, although i think he gets a (conditional) offer at FNL and told to wait on D Rob.

technically, they could take all 3 of Sherit(DE), D Walk(DT), and Ogundeko(Buck)...they're all 3 diff positions.

[deep_threat]

Wasn't Reggie Davis told to let the process play out? If we miss on D Rob I bet he gets an offer before Thompson. Although he is a uga commit, he was still vocal about how it wasn't his ideal school and how he wanted to be a Gator

[slmdLS1]

No doubt he wants to be a Gator, and he'll likely drop UGA like a bad habit the second he got an offer. He'll be at FNL supposedly, but when he committed to UGA he had some not so flattering things to say about feeling slighted/slow played by the UF coaches. He also said then he wouldn't be coming to FNL, but has since changed his tune apparently.

I think Thompson gets the offer before Davis. I think Reggie is a little shorter than his listed height, and Thompson is right there at or above 6'.

I think the staff like Thompson more than Davis now. The staff wants and needs to see Davis camp. It would not shock me if Davis and his teammate are at FNL. Look for some out of state kids to show up as well. Guys like Nadir Barnwell looks like a corner but he might be able to play WR as well.

I was wrong about Chris Thompson I honestly can't tell the difference between him and a guy like Reggie Davis. Still hoping for DRob but Thompson looks like he has plenty of talent. I'm excited to see how this all plays out

Out of the three WRs we have, Fulwood is clearly the best. But between Hawkins and Adams, which one do you prefer?

[deep_threat]

Honestly I prefer Hawkins even though Adams is pretty highly rated. Hawkins has a better build and is more physical imo

[slmdLS1]

Adams was reportedly he best WR at the Team USA camp last week...(#2 impact guy regardless of position) Marqi hasnt played a lot of WR yet, so im sure he's pretty "raw".

"You have to love any player that practices with a game mentality, and that's Adams. He came to play every day, didn't get too high after big plays and just went after his business. He's an ideal college X, somebody who can annihilate man-to-man coverage, and always seems to find the soft spot against the zone. Adams isn't really elite at anything, but he's probably an A- in every category. He's fast, has nice size, is a good route-runner, bursts out of his breaks, and is a threat on 50-50 balls. He's the top skill position player here."

Nice! I was thinking that Hawkins was better and more physical like deep, but now I don't know what to think. They are both great. Like I said in an earlier post, with these 3 guys I'm not sure we need another wide out in this class.

[GATORAZ]

Out of the three WRs we have, Fulwood is clearly the best. But between Hawkins and Adams, which one do you prefer?

I have serious doubts about Fulwood being the best WR in this class.

[gatordude15]

gatorfan12, i would be set with these three receivers too, but if Coley or Robinson want to be in this class then you take them without hesitation. (that is of course if Coley can make grades).

[15gator05]

I have serious doubts about Fulwood being the best WR in this class.

Why?

[GATORAZ]

Why?

I like Adams a lot. I have some questions about Fulwoods quickness and speed. I think we will all be happy if he is another Dallas Baker

Good news but I'm still not too optimistic with him just because of the distance

his dad died not long ago...sometimes kids move away from the area when there are negative thoughts attached to the area and an opportunity for a big life change presents itself.

plus Cameron Dillard will stay in his ear.

IMO, if we only got Walker & Tunsil the class could/would be complete. Anything on top of those two is gravy (and, of course, we are going to get some others....but as far as our "needs", getting another DL & OL is huge).

[gatorfan12]

I'm not saying that any of these guys are in the bag buy a long shot, but if they all want UF who makes it in?

Ogundeko
Sherit
D Walker

Obviously Walker is the highest rated and we really want him, so hes in. But do we want Ogundeko or Sherit, both? I just find both unrealistic with the numbers and other needs we have this year.

Of course recruiting is crazy but I'll guess. Ogundeko is going to pick us this month and we finish off the d line class with Walker on August 3rd, his decision date. Pretty good defensive line haul. Then Sherit follows his boy Travis Johnson to Miami. Honestly, I think that would seriously hurt our chances with VIII. It then makes USF the favorite for VHIII, Miami in second, and then us.

[GATORAZ]

They would probably take all three

[deep_threat]

I'm not very confident on us getting Ogundeko I think he's ND

well, UF has been his leader ever since he left campus...don't think anything has changed there...

I know but why would we take two bucks in a class where a spot is very hard to get. Especially when one of them is in our back yard. I would rather have Sherit and Walker then Ogundeko and Walker just because of Tampa. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but it's just confusing to me why we are even pursuing two bucks when were are tight with schollies and one is from Tampa

[slmdLS1]

one is a Buck, one is a DE, and one is a DT....

one is a Buck, one is a DE, and one is a DT....

Ogundeko said in the video that he is getting recruited at buck, I hear that Sherit is getting recruited at buck, and Walker I guess is stuck at playing DE which is fine with me. I could be wrong but I thought that was how it was going down. Can you confirm anything??? Just trying to clarify here

Ogun is a Buck, yeah. Walker at 270 now is a college DT, but a lot like Floyd in that he can play outside as well. Sherit can prob play DE or Buck pr maybe even LB if Lawson doesnt stick like many think he doesnt. Theres a little flexability with these 3 guys.

You cant just recruit one kid at a position. There is a chance we get none of those guys. Sherit could be a buck but I doubt he ends up playing it he might be too stiff for the position.

[deep_threat]

Did anybody else see what Ira Denson tweeted to Ogundeko??? He asked him (don't quote me on this, I'm too lazy to go to my Twitter right now and copy and paste lol) "brah you still goin to Florida."

So I guess he was feeling pretty high about UF at the opening and let a few people know. He replied with "idk man I'm still thinking."

So hopefully this is good news. Whatever the case is I would absolutely love Odeko because one, he's a monster, and two, his name would look so good/intimidating on a Gator jersey

[GATORAZ]

deep threat I was pretty confident Ogundeko would be a Gator when he left his visit. But a month is a long time.

[deep_threat]

Hopefully the staff is closing on him well. If he took the visit and we led and we still lead by a wide enough margin for him to tell Denson that he was coming to UF I feel pretty good about our chances. We'll see in a few days I guess
